JUMPCUT

Captivating Online Courses

Who We Are

Jumpcut creates captivating online courses about entrepreneurship.

There are over 1.3 million college students in the United States today majoring in business, but the classes they take are hideously outdated, and irrelevant to their future careers. Business education is fundamentally broken.

Jumpcut is where the next generation of entrepreneurs will be developed. Our online courses help people develop the skills they need in order to turn their passions into a successful business.

Our first course is a comprehensive YouTube Influencer course, where the world's top influencers teach you how to create compelling, original content, develop a massive following online, and monetize your audience so that you can live a life pursuing your passions.

Even if you don’t see a position that fits above, we’re always looking for good people. Drop us a line by clicking the button below, submitting a resume, and leaving a note!

Please keep in mind: your chances of hearing back from us are 10x if you write a note about how you heard about Jumpcut, why you are interested in working for us, and what value you would provide here.

Jumpcut is a Y Combinator and venture-backed startup that creates cinematic online courses with the world’s biggest influencers.

The founding team at Jumpcut has years of experience creating binge-worthy content — we’ve created multiple viral YouTube channels that now have over 4.5 million subscribers and over 500 million views. We’re now taking that content creation experience and applying it to the monotonous world of online education.

If you’ve ever taken an online course, you already know that 99% of them suck. That’s because they all do the same thing: record a dry and uninspiring instructor who talks to the camera for hours on end. While this is fantastic for getting over an Ambien addiction, it’s atrocious for actual learning.

Think about what can be done with video: we have the ability to create things like Avatar, The Dark Knight, and Game of Thrones, but the status quo when it comes to online courses is this. In an ice cream parlor of unlimited flavors, every other online education company has opted for vanilla. We have our eye on the mint triple chocolate chip birthday cake cookie dough with strawberry whipped cream and banana nut sprinkles.

Our team is approaching online learning in a completely new way: combining educational content with compelling stories, captivating cinematography, creative soundtracks, and much more. The result is a beautiful course that feels like a movie. We believe the future of education lies in creating world-class content.

You’ll be working as a direct report to our Director of Marketing as the 3rd full time marketing employee at Jumpcut, and be directly responsible for hundreds of thousands of dollars of marketing spend every single month.

Your work is two fold. First, you will optimize the current paid ads marketing channels that we’re currently engaging in. You will be the “data” person on the team, responsible for crunching an enormous amount of data every day in both Excel and SQL (if you don’t know, we’ll teach you on the job). Your goal is to make sure we’re spending the right amount of money in the right places.

Second, you’ll be in charge of all paid ads operations. This means actually creating the ad sets that we’re running on Facebook and Google, loading the creatives in and ensuring all of them pass review, tweaking ad sets to run different variations, talking to our Facebook/Google reps on the phone, and managing the on/off switch for our ads every single day. This requires extreme attention to detail and zero-defect work.

Here’s an example of what you’ll be doing: we’re currently running Facebook ads in multiple countries. However, given that we’re running multiple different creatives, across multiple types of lookalike audiences, the CPL is different for each skew and varies across the age of the ad. You’ll be responsible for not only creating each ad set in each country along each dimension, but also digging into these numbers and coming up with hypothesis on what we should increase spend on, decrease spend on, and what we should stop.

While you’ll start out in a support role for the Director of Marketing, you’ll grow tremendously as you gain the trust of the team, to the point where you’ll be proposing new tests to run.

We’re looking for someone with marketing experience and analytics abilities -- but more importantly, we’re looking for someone who is extremely detail-oriented, smart, resourceful, and passionate about what they’re doing. Having experience in paid ads is not a prerequisite for the job, because we’ll be able to teach you our process.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Be operationally responsible, every single day, for the creation and adjustment of all ad sets on all platforms

Analyze the data and find areas for improvement and optimization to help 2x (or more) the ROI from our marketing funnels.

Come up with data-driven ideas (and theories) for split-tests and work hand in hand with our Director of Marketing to see those come to life (new creatives, new angles for the copy, new audience demographics, etc.).

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

Passion for marketing

Extreme self-starter — you hustle and follow-through more than anyone else you know

Extraordinary analytical skills. Must be extremely proficient with Excel.

This is a full-time role, based in our office in Hollywood, California. Our salary is extremely competitive, with great benefits including stock options, catered lunch/dinner every day, 401k, health care, and best of all, lots of room for growth.

We’re looking for someone who loves strategy, marketing, and analytics to work with our core team to scale our revenue past the $20 million mark.

Your responsibilities will be centered around optimizing our 7-figure a year spend on paid traffic. You will work to improve our current spend, but also create and implement a strategy to grow our spend. In addition, as the company grows, you will be building, growing, and managing the paid marketing and analytics teams. Because of our small team size, you will constantly be getting your hands dirty in the data -- looking through it, cutting it, and building processes/systems to streamline its analysis -- and because of this work, you’ll have a great grasp of what ad strategies work and don’t work for our product. You will eventually create and optimize our ad testing framework to ensure that we’re leaving no stone unturned when we’re testing our ads across demographics and audiences.

Currently, we’re spending millions each year on Facebook and YouTube, but we’d also like you to help us expand to other platforms such as Google Display Network, Snapchat, Twitter, Reddit, and other ad platforms where there’s potential.

While much preferred, we do NOT require significant paid ads experience -- we’ve found that if you’re smart and curious, have a head for analytics, and have previous strategy experience, you’ll be a great fit for the job.

Finally, the job will require you not only to work closely with Kong (CEO) and Davis (Head of Ops), but across our other departments (engineering, production, operations) as well, in order to come up with strategies for growth.

The 2-year vision for this job is for you to build, grow, and run an entire team of marketers and analysts who are focused primarily on customer acquisition through paid channels.

Do you like poop? Of course you don’t. But apparently, many people do. This is exemplified by two of the most viral internet ads of our generation: Poo-pourri and Squatty Potty (look it up).

We are looking for someone who is clever, creative, and a little messed up in the head to be our Creative Ads Director and to create similar advertising experiences for our potential customers.

Your responsibilities will be centered around brainstorming, writing, and creating ads that convert to sales and--more importantly--have the potential to go viral. We’re currently operating mostly on YouTube and Facebook, but we’ll need your help in expanding to other platforms as well.

We do NOT require advertising experience - our team is made up of viral video experts who have generated over 1 billion organic views, and we will help you develop the skills to do that from scratch. With that said, you need to have a natural ability to break down viral content and backwards-engineer what has worked for other big ads in the past.
